Peter Morales, Coronado's basketball coach, said Marcus will be on SportsCenter's 9 a.m. broadcast to talk about the heartfelt moment between two rival teams on Feb. 12.

In the final seconds of the game, Franklin's Jonathon Montanez passed the ball to his Coronado opponent, Marcus, a special needs student who was allowed to suit up and play for Coronado in its final game of the season.

While fans from both sides cheered, Marcus made a last-second shot after several attempts and was carried off the court.

Coronado won 55-40.
